7 recommended options for vegan survival in Tokyo

When you can’t find any vegan restaurant around you, my 7 recommendation for vegans to find shelter in Tokyo is as follows.
I hope you can manage to have a quick snack and survive in Tokyo.

Go to Coco Ichibanya!

• Let’s go to “Coco ichibanya”, the curry fast food chain, and order “Vegetarian Curry”, “Allergen-free curry”.
  Except these, almost all curry contains meat broth, so be careful not to order others.
  And also you can add to order the vegetable topping;
  • Spinach
  • Vegetable
  • Eggplant
  • corn
    and so on.

Get Macrobiha Biscuit!

• Let’s go to Kiosk by the station or convenience store and get “Macrobiha Biscuit”.　They have 2 flavors, “Fruits-Granola” and “Cacao-Nuts”.

Go to Saizeriya!

• Let’s go to “Saizeriya”, the family restaurant chain, and order “Alio Olio”.
  You can add the topping of chili pepper on the table.
  Italian family restaurants often serve Alio Olio（garlic spaghetti) , Pepelonchino (garlic and chili spagetti ) or simple tomato sauce spagetti.

Go to Kaiten Zushi!

• Let’s go to the chain store of Kaiten Zushi (conveyor belt sushi) and order the following menu;
  • Kappa Maki (Cucumber roll). Dip it in soy sauce and eat!
  • Natto Maki (Natto roll). Fermented soy beans are called Natto. Try it and form threads!
  • Inari Zushi. Rice is covered with salty, sweet deep fried Tofu.
  • Kanpyo Maki (Kanpyo roll). Kanpyo is dried gourd. It was boiled salty, sweet.
  • Wasabi Nasu (Japanese horseradish and eggplant). Challenge the hot flavor irritating your nose.
    Inari Zushi and Kanpyo Maki sometime uses animal food addition. Kindly please ask the shop staff.

Go to Indian Restaurant!

• If you are so hungry, let’s rush into an Indian restaurant and order vegetarian option menu.
  At least you can find dhal (beans) curry or vegetable curry and rice.
  South Indian curry is lighter than it. I love it!
  Nowadays Indian restaurants are seen in every town.

Go to Lawson!

• Let’s go to “Lawson” or “Natural Lawson” convenience store and get Onigiri (Rice ball) of Ume (Plum), Konbu (Sea weed) Shio Nigiri (Salt rice ball). Lawson has a lot of vegan snacks.

Get nuts, dried fruits!

• If you can not find out even the above, go to Kiosk or convenience store and get the nuts, dried fruits, fresh fruits like bananas, oranges , and hot coffee.
